Most people can appreciate the simple pleasure of desserts like that of a warm pan of freshly baked brownies, but would you ever eat those brownies if someone added a tiny spec of dog poo into the batter? The answer is a resounding NO because the reality is even a tiny bit of the wrong ingredient can spoil something that was meant to be good. The same principle applies to your life: do not allow “specs” of toxic elements to spoil your potential. Ingredients, even in small amounts, such as destructive relationships, poor character decisions, or neglecting your spiritual walk with God can compromise the highest and best for your life, by subtly pulling you off course and without correction the “spec”grows.
Matthew 6:33 But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.
